Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the most interesting historical and legal monuments of the town of Omiš from the High Middle Ages. Then, after an elaboration of the 1444 agreement with the Venetian Republic, already on the brink of the early modern period, there follows a discussion of sources related to the legal and social life of Omiš and Venice on the one hand, as well as Poljica, Ottomans and other neighbouring areas on the other hand. After an interpretation of the Omiš Statute, there is an analysis of the oldest preserved criminal lawsuits from the age of Venetian rule in Omiš, immediately after the adoption of the Statute, which has formally been retained only in parts.
